One more vote to remove the 'linux' dependency as this gets in the way of anyone using an alternative kernel, such as linux-zen. And I doubt anyone will try to install it with a kernel < 3.2 since we're at 6.16 now.

You can change the Source to https://github.com/minios-linux/b43-firmware/releases/download/b43-firmware/broadcom-wl-6.30.163.46.tar.bz2

Same checksum

This package fails to build due to the source not being available anymore.

Yes, can we just remove linux dependency here? I'd like to use linux-lts kernel but this one is blocking me to do so. (Technically I can just install both linux and linux-lts and only use linux-lts, but why...)

Now I am maintainer. What should I do? Should I remove the dependency?

I forgot I'm actually no more the maintainer, but somehow I still receive notification mails. You'd have to wait for the new one to take action, sorry :)

The dep should simply be removed.

I'd be totally open to that, if there's a way in the PKGBUILD to target all possible packages providing linux, in the depends section.

Is anyone aware how to achieve that?

If you run a linux-zen kernel without installed linux you cannot use package (but of course it works). I think dependency should be extended to linux-zen, too

vicp74 works here, Linux 4.8.7-1, WiFi card is BCM4312.
